Book Description
Employing Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software products as components in large-scale long-lived systems has been proposed as a way to reduce both implementation and operating cost for the user communities. While this may be the case, the actual benefits have not been confirmed. However, there is factual evidence that some of the suggested cost savings will be offset by the need to address a new set of issues that are raised by the inclusion of COTS components. One of these is the need to evaluate candidates COTS systems early in the development life cycle. Our research is concentrated in the area of physical evaluation of candidate products, that is, actual testing of the products themselves. The purpose of this paper is to present a discussion of proposed evaluation techniques used to select COTS software components for systems development, to describe appropriate testing techniques for COTS candidates, and to propose an evaluation system which will provide support to ensure timely selection of suitable COTS products.

Book Description
Abstract: "The growing use of commercial software products in large systems makes evaluation and selection of appropriate products an increasingly essential activity. However, many organizations struggle in their attempts to select appropriate software products for use in systems. As part of a cooperative effort, the Software Engineering Institute and National Research Council Canada have defined a tailorable commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software product evaluation process that can support organizations in making carefully reasoned and sound product decisions. The background fundamentals for that evaluation process, as well as steps and techniques to follow, are described in this report."

Book Description
Component-based software development, CBSD, is no longer just one more new paradigm in software engineering, but is effectively used in development and practice. So far, however, most of the efforts from the software engineering community have concentrated on the functional aspects of CBSD, leaving aside the treatment of the quality issues and extra-functional properties of software components and component-based systems. This book is the first one focusing on quality issues of components and component-based systems. The 16 revised chapters presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book; together with an introductory survey, they give a coherent and competent survey of the state of the art in the area. The book is organized in topical parts on COTS selection, testing and certification, software component quality models, formal models to quality assessment, and CBSD management.

Book Description
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on COTS-Based Software Systems, ICCBSS 2004, held in Redondo Beach, CA, USA, in February 2004. The 27 revised papers presented together with summaries of workshops, panels, and tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers address all current issues on commercial-off-the-shelf based software systems, from the point of view of research and development as well as from the practitioner's point of view and spanning the entire software life cycle.

Book Description
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on COTS-Based Software Systems, ICCBSS 2003, held in Ottawa, Canada in February 2003. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address all current issues on commcerial-off-the-shelf-systems, from the point of view of research and development as well as from the practitioner's application point of view.

Book Description
The theme “Build and Conquer” chosen for this year’s conference fully represents what we (the organizers) want to put across to the software community: software development is an engineering discipline, and not an artistic expression. Once we are ready to “build” our software systems using pieces previously builtin (similar to any other technology manufacturer), we will be able to “conquer” the software engineering process. If we take a look at other engineering disciplines such as car manufacturing, house appliances or aeronautics, we see that the final products are built through the integration of multiprovider commercial components. These components are successfully integrated and constitute an important part of the final product. Most software-related organizations still build software from scratch, omitting thousands of ready-built commercially available software components that could be used very effectively during the development phase. This year ICCBSS moves to Europe for the first time since the first conference took place in Orlando, FL, USA in 2002. The conference scope has enlarged over the years to include the Open Source community and Web Services technologies. The reason for this is that I believe both are considered components-off-the-shelf, so many of the characteristics of COTS are also applied to Open Source and Web Services. Due to this, we will enjoy the presence of keynote speakers and researchers presenting on these two topics for the first time.
